7th January, Saturday. Halted and was delighted at about l o'clock to see the 4 loads left behind yesterday conveyed in by the Kevemah men true to their promise. In the afternoon I received a large deputation from Khonomah, among them were Viponu and Dhopule, the two chiefs of the Sumemah khel who were full of their grievances against the Merhemah clan, who undoubtedly are a precious bad lot though I have no sympathy for the former either however as the Government have decided upon non-interference and I have been instructed not to express opinions opposed to the views entertained by Government. I refrain here from entering into any further details on the subjects of these disgraceful feuds. |
